2 Preludiums for Organ, Op. 15 — Egbert Juffer

This pair of contrasting Preludiums by Dutch-British composer Egbert Juffer shows two very different moods within concise forms. Written in 2019 (No. 1) and in 2021 (No. 2), the set includes:

Opus 15 No. 1 – Preludium 1 (Slow — not faster than ♩ = 40): a meditative movement unfolding in spacious phrases with restrained registration, creating a reflective atmosphere.

Opus 15 No. 2 – Preludium 2 (Spirito — ♩ = 40): a lively companion with bright colours, rhythmic energy, and varied registrations that builds excitement.

Why you’ll love it:

Two strong contrasts – From a slow, meditative Prelude to a spirited, rhythmically active sequel.

Colourful registration – Suggested stops range from simple flutes to Scharf IV and Rauschpfeife IV, with changing colours across sections.

Clear layout – 3 pages of music notation presented within a 6-page publication, cleanly engraved with registration and phrasing cues.

Intermediate accessibility – No. 1 suits UK Grade 4–5, while No. 2 leans toward Grade 5–6. Performance times are about 2½–3 minutes (No. 1) and 2–2½ minutes (No. 2), depending on tempo and phrasing.
